BLM will initiate coordinated, inter-governmental, interagency, Right-of-Way
corridor planning efforts (including coordination with BLM land use planning
for public lands efforts) in partnership with industry and public interest
groups.

The BLM and Forest Service, in cooperation with the utility industry,
are addressing land use planning issues related to the identification
and designation of utility corridors to increase efficiency and reliability
of transporting energy. The Western Utility Group’s (WUG) Western
Regional Corridor Study is currently being updated to identify proposed
corridors by priority that is tied to future energy related transmission
needs. Supplemental BLM land use planning guidance on Right-Of –Way
utility corridors was issued by Instructional Memorandum (IM) 2002-196,
“Right-of-Way (ROW) Management-Land Use Planning,”
dated June 25, 2002. http://www.blm.gov/nhp/efoia/wo/fy02/im2002-196
